Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than [...]]]></description>

Fortunately for me, I&#8217;m at Chapter 4 on one.  The other, well, I&#8217;m too gun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three months ago today, my father died.  I know this not because the date is burned in my brain, but because I double checked the date on his obituaries.  That sounds harsh, I know.  But if you knew my father like I knew him (or didn’t know him), you’d understand…  Aren’t you lucky?  This four-part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, I really have been under a rock the last few weeks, because I truly had no idea that Charlton Heston died. None. I remember listening to Rush&#8217;s show on the 7-minute commute to the office and wondering why he was broadcasting Heston&#8217;s &#8220;from my cold, dead hands&#8221; speech. I figured either it was either [...]]]></description>
